According to the criminal complaint filed yesterday, Paris told a friend in New York that he dropped the baby while intoxicated. But a doctor at Children's Hospital told police that the injuries were not consistent with a "short-distance fall."

Two of Paris' former co-workers told investigators that he has a short fuse and quickly loses his cool, according to the court document. The infant's mother said he is prone to overreact and has "raised his hand to her on past occasions," police said.
